This review is from: Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds Express - Super Challenge (DVD)

The "Super Challenge" DVD is a great addition for in-home walkers. If you are a veteran of the Walk Away the Pounds workouts and you're looking for the next level of working out, this is your DVD.

Leslie uses steps that are easy to follow, this is not about aerobic dancing. The steps on this DVD are:
- Walking (of course!)
- Side Steps (single and double)
- Knee Lifts
- Kicks
- Kick backs (leg curls)
To add some variety to this workout, Leslie uses double side steps, double knee lifts, and even brings back the fabled 80's Grapevine.

The walkers on this DVD are sure to get you motivated. There are women in their 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and even a man in his 70's. People of all ages and all levels of walking can use this DVD. If you're just getting started, only do the first mile.

The thing that I appreciated most about this DVD is that there are no exercise "extras" you need to buy to do it. There is no "stretchie", no weights, no belt, nothing but your own two feet (and sneakers). Not using extras makes this DVD accessible for everyone.

The music for this DVD is contemporary techno. There is even one song with a little Latin feel to it. The music continues to build in pace until you reach the third mile where you level off for the fourth mile. The pace at the end of the second mile into the beginning of the third mile gets very, very brisk. Hang in there for a great workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another awesome Leslie workout!, June 19, 2003

This review is from: Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds Express - Super Challenge [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been doing the WATP workouts every day for about 6 months and am very comfortable with the 3 mile tapes, so I was excited to find the 4 mile super challenge, and a challenge it is! I also have a couple of her other 4 mile tapes and while they are a good workout, they don't compare to the super challenge.

You start out easily enough with the familiar warmup from her other videos, but once you're past that, be ready for a high-stepping, pulse-pounding walk in your living room! Once you get to the peak rate, you'll remain there for over a mile - by the time you're finished, you'll know you'be been burning off that fat. The music is great, very motivating, and she has incorporated a more involved stretching routine at the end that I really enjoyed. Highly recommended tape for anyone looking to push themselves a little further in a low impact workout.

This review is from: Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds Express - Super Challenge [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Leslie Sansone finally came out with a walk that exceeds her 3 mile tape (which I worked up to being able to finish with ease after a few weeks.) It takes about 56 minutes to do the 4 mile walk, that is about 9 minutes longer than the 3 mile walk from the 1/2/3 WATP series, so there is a somewhat faster pace most notably in the second mile.

No weights or special devices are needed in this workout which is great. There is more attention to arm/upper body in this tape than in the 1/2/3 series. While there are no new "moves" per se, there are variations on the basics WATP steps in miles 3 and 4 which add interest and engage the muscles differently.

There is adequate warm-up and cool-down time. The weird hip-hop-esque music is the only thing I didn't love about the tape and even that changes to regular exercise music after the first mile.

I would *HIGHLY* recommend this tape to anyone familiar with Leslie's previous tapes seeking a greater challenge. It would also be suitable for anyone who wants to settle into a 1-hour in-home walking regimen even if they have not done Leslie's earlier tapes; viewers can always modify the intensity at which they walk or stop before the end of the tape as long as a cool-down is done.

TIPS for the true couch potato: if your TV has a "picture in picture" capability, once you watch this a couple of times you can workout to this tape while playing another program simultaneously. I used to not be able to finish the 1 mile and now I do at least an hour of in-home exercise to video tapes daily with the 4 mile WATP as one of my mainstays- it is so convenient. For any sedentary person who is on the fence about the WATP series- it feels so much better to be active than not. This program allows you to breath hard a sweat (if you choose to work at that intensity) without jumping around. You feel lighter, stronger and in a better mood within a few workouts. If you can force yourself to do it everyday for about 3 weeks, even if you cannot finish it or cannot work at an intensity where you breath hard & sweat, working out will at least become second nature to you, you'll look forward to working out and get a glimpse of some of the longer-term rewards like suddenly being able to advance much farther into the tape than you could just a day or two before, breathing easier at higher activity levels, breaking your first good sweat, clothes fitting a little looser. I cannot WAIT for a 5 mile equivalent at less than 60 minutes to come out!
